Job profiles investment management


Allianz Investment Management SE (AIM) bundles the investment function and asset management by offering multiple job opportunities. Learn more about our key functions and also get to know our entry-level finance jobs.

AIM invests the premiums from insurance contracts according to the insurance liabilities they generate. The ALM teams translate the requirements of liabilities into capital market dimensions. This is done via state-of-the-art quantitative models complemented by thorough qualitative analysis.

The output of the models is translated into Strategic Asset Allocations for every insurance portfolio which are the main drivers of our long-term investment results. Our ALM experts are a key element of product development when it comes to ensuring a holistic integration of capital market characteristics and developments in insurance products.

The IS teams – asset class experts and portfolio managers – develop and implement the investment strategy across all asset classes. IS develops secular capital market views that serve as input for the ALM models and enriches the liability-driven Strategic Asset Allocation by long-term investment strategies. The IS teams analyze capital market developments to derive investment recommendations for portfolio management.

The resulting local asset allocations comprise more than 50 investment strategies. Furthermore, the IS teams are actively searching for investment opportunities in new asset classes, also referred to as “sourcing”. IS positions the portfolios to benefit from medium to long-term capital market opportunities while managing market risks.

 

 

At Allianz, we differentiate between Investment Management and Asset Management. The AMM team takes up the asset allocations and translates those into mandates for Asset Managers. AMM oversees selecting, reviewing and managing performance of our external and internal Asset Managers on a global basis.

To allow for a global portfolio steering, the FC teams independently control the investment risk as well as the investment return. The FC teams develop investment plans based on the Strategic Asset Allocation, monitor their implementation and thus deliver crucial information for decision-making and organizational learning.

Operations are the execution “backbone”, orchestrating all relevant steps from the settlement of transactions and the management of liquidity, to ensuring timely, accurate and reliable delivery of an investment into our portfolios. The OPS teams also drive the implementation of processes and related IT systems (e.g., new investments and instruments).
